Engraving Poster Paper

Back when I was playing with laser diodes, I found out which papers bleached. It was not always the ones I thought.

Thanks for sharing! Your dog is completely adorable!

These settings worked a treat for engraving the top cover of my sketchbook. I figured the cover’s top layer had the properties of poster paper and I wasn’t wrong.

Great design! :grinning:

Does it engrave white regardless of the paper color?

I suspect the right settings could darken the core layer or depending on the core material produce a different color.

for example https://www.amazon.com/Darice-Coredinations-Premium-65-lb-Cardstock/dp/B0086XFRTM/ claims to be dyed through the core.

No, I don’t think so. At that low power the laser is just kind of scratching the surface. :grin:
